Thanks O

Or meet hot Jonny McKeown at Bull Island/Dollymount Strand, Dublin.

And down at the Phoenix Park?

Seriously.

No choke.

“It is just so lucky that his paw managed to ring 999 otherwise he would have died. We still don’t know how he managed it. It’s one of those old-fashioned phones with the dialling ring.He’s not usually very smart. He’s really dopey and just likes to chew socks.”

Yes, it’s meh.

BUT:

Some people have called this preliminary footage underwhelming. That’s up for debate. Sure, there were no deep-sea behemoths waiting to gobble Cameron up the moment he hit the seafloor, but just think for a second about what you’re seeing here: this video was shot almost seven miles below the ocean surface, and reveals a vast alien landscape (located right here on Earth) that we know almost nothing about.
